Quinte Fishing

Welcome aboard crouton, I'll do my best to answer your questions, but there may be more local guys on here with more upto date/details info:
Recommendations for a place to stay in Picton/close to Picton. I know of twin peaks, but its like half hour from Picton...but I want to be closer to the launch. Bonuses would be an outlet to charge batteries on boat, and a safe place to park boat (motel style, outside my door maybe?)
-I haven't been here http://www.merlandpark.com/ yet, but I will be staying there in a few weeks. It seems like a good cottage rental place, right on the water, docking and launching there and seems geared towards fisherman. I've also heard good things about west lake willows, and they certainly know fishing on the bay.

Any watering holes in Picton for a couple beers at the end of the day? Good/reasonably cheap place to eat dinner? Just drive down the main st, there's a few diners that are good, pizza places, etc. I've not had a bad meal in any of the little mom and pop places, but I can't think of their names

Any cost for the Launch in Picton, or the ferry launch? Is parking going to be an issue (coming down Thursday-Saturday)? Where (street) exactly is the public launch in Picton?
Launch is here: https://maps.google.ca/maps?q=44.010156,+-77.135031&num=1&vpsrc=6&ie=UTF8&t=m&z=17&iwloc=A
The ferry launch is here: https://maps.google.ca/maps?q=44.048856,+-77.051239&num=1&vpsrc=0&ie=UTF8&t=m&z=14&iwloc=A
I think the picton harbour launch is $6. The adolphus town ferry launch is free. Parking at both can get busy during the weekends, but I've always managed to find a place to park, earlier is easier.

I heard the ferry is free? When does it run? (coming from Ottawa) Is there a website? The ferry is free, I think it runs 24/7, with reduced service during off hours. The boat launch is on the east side of the ferry ride

Sorry for all the questions, but answers will have my appreciations!
